What is Mobile Meals?
Mobile Meals is a service provided by
Lima Memorial Health System and its Auxiliary. Its purpose is to
deliver tasty, well-balanced meals to those who are unable to
prepare meals for themselves. You must live in the city of
Lima or one the four surrounding townships (American, Shawnee,
Perry or Bath) to be eligible for the service.
Who plans and prepares the
meals?
All meals are planned and prepared by
the Food and Nutrition Department of Lima Memorial Health System
from the regular hospital menus. A diet order (choice of five
available diets) is obtained from each subscriber's physician. All
food for these diets is prepared with no added salt, fats, or
seasonings.
How much do the meals cost?
The cost of mobile meals is $7.50 per
day. A monthly bill is sent out during the first week of every
